[Ancient traditions and superstitions held that rain was an ill omen; the wrath of Ramuh at best and Leviathan at worst. No one truly believed such things since the fall of Solheim, but anyone with common sense knew not to be out in a storm like this.]
[...The existence of Ardyn's common sense was often up for debate.]
[He wasn't mad enough to be wandering outside just yet--instead the man in white stood just inside an arching doorway, looking up at the sky in calm silence. Hopefully no one was caught out in this, but...just in case, maybe he'd stay there a bit longer keeping watch.]
[b; wrong way]
[Ardyn paused in the middle of walking some back alleyway of a back alleyway, looking around to better evaluate his surroundings...and coming up with nothing useful.]
[Yep. Definitely lost. How embarrassing, usually he was better with directions than this. Then again, this world and city were a touch more advanced than he was used to, added on to the already disorienting nature of an entirely different realm. Of course he'd be liable to get lost, but what was he supposed to do? Not chase rumors of something that might be able to send everyone back home? What use would that be?]
[On the other hand, he really wasn't much use standing around wishing he'd thought to look for a map. Hopefully he'd at least be able to get back before dark, but optimism was fading about as fast as the late afternoon sunlight.]
